LaKeith Stanfield and his wife, Kasmere, are being sued by their travel nanny, who claims the couple did not pay her after she provided round-the-clock care for their infant child during a week-long trip to New York City.
According to court documents, the travel nanny is suing the couple, claiming they agreed to pay her $500 per day from Oct. 31 to Nov. 7, 2023, to provide 24-hour care for their infant. That week saw the Stanfields attending the WSJ Magazine 2023 Innovator Awards and CFDA Fashion Awards, among other things.
The travel nanny went on to claim that the infant stayed with her every night and consistently woke up every 2.5 hours, remaining awake for approximately 45 minutes each time. She claims she worked all day and night the next day and the newborn remained in her care until the next day. She claims the couple left her alone this entire time with the infant.
She hardly had time to eat, sleep or shower, all the while being constantly bombarded with requests from the couple. One day, she had a scheduled teledoc call and needed a one-hour break. And while the couple provided her with the break, she was met with aggression and attitude when she brought it up.
On the last day, Stanfield messaged her and stated that the infant would be in nanny’s care on the drive to the airport and during the return flight. The nanny reiterated that she was not comfortable holding the infant on her lap during the flight because it is a safety risk. Stanfield retaliated by canceling her flight and telling her to find her own transportation back to Los Angeles. The couple refused to pay her for the eight-day trip.
She claims the couple committed a number of labor code violations.
